Nismo SCCA track classification
 

I'm having a hard time figuring out what class I can run my Nismo in, and I know the Nismo is a B-Stock car?

Thanks

You're going to need to post a hell of a lot more information about what you have done to your car, what you're trying to compete in and what you plan on doing to your car in the future for anyone to be able to help.

I'm looking for the full list of classes starting from BS down.
Right now I am in the BS class, but I'm thinking about modding the Nismo and want to know what classes it can run in, sense it doesn't run in the same classes as a regular 370z.

It does run in ASP I believe after all the mods and whatnot. The biggest differences between the Nismo and Sport is 1) stiffer suspension 2) stiffer sway bars 3) wider tires. Of course the extra power is a plus also but not a major influence like the suspension parts are. ASP we are all basically equal as we all reach out of our stock specs to upgrade to a point that we can all reach but is not achieved with OEM equipment.

I run in ASP.

See chapter 13 for Stock
See chapter 15 for Street Prepared
See appendix A for classifications

So we have a BS, ASP, what about STU?

Nismo isn't legal in ST. The regular 370z is now in STR.

I can't get the SCCA 2013 rulebook to load for some reason. Just wanted to know (promise I searched, or could ask at event) what class a stock, street tire-d, base 370 would be legal/competitive in.

Edit: for solo

Legal? CSRT. Competitive? None. With the sport package you may have a prayer in CSRT but not likely.

Thanks. When I mean competitive, I just mean similar cars that my times will be near. Not trying to get points or anything.

Stock C is where you would land against the RX-8's and FRS/BRZ and they destroy us unfortunately......

Not really.

Agreed. Especially if you get a course that puts those guys in 2nd gear at low revs into decent straight.

I know around here, if you do the SCCA events, they're all set up to favor Miatas and Formula 125s, so those lighter weight opponents have a huge advantage. Meaning there ARE NO 'decent straights'.

If you do BMWCCA or PCA events, it's much more even and the Z's (350s and 370s) do much better. I've hit 80mph on long sweepers in the BMWCCA layouts.

Autox Z has done pretty well at Nats the past few years, and they were hardly anything that favored a 370z. You just have to look at CSP to see how friendly they have been to the smaller cars...

Sounds like it may be skill of the driver that is causing the bigger separation than you like...
